Scientists at UC Riverside have found a clever new way to outsmart termites—by turning their own instincts against them. Using a natural pine scent called pinene, which smells like food to termites, researchers can lure the pests straight toward a targeted dose of insecticide hidden in wood. The result is dramatically higher kill rates—jumping from about 70% to over 95%—without the need for widespread toxic fumigation.

Может начать рисовать комиксы против проповедников ИИ, которые говорят "не смотри в генерируемый код, просто проверяй его в тестовом стенде"? Ниже первый эксерсиз.ИИ не поняло как контролировать поток данных, поэтому оно сделало внутри сгенеренного им дизайна гиганскую очередь, которая сохраняла просто напросто все транзакции которые поступали от теста, и потом их по ходу дела использовало.В тесте было около 10 тысяч транзакций. Я удвоил их количество - все тут же взорвалось... Read more ›

Помните, как вы в очередной раз гуглили, как повернуть подписи осей в Matplotlib на 45 градусов? Или как на созвоне вас просили объяснить «вон ту аномальную точку» на красивом графике Seaborn, и вам приходилось судорожно лезть в Jupyter писать новые фильтры, потому что график — это просто статичная картинка? Знакомая боль.А теперь представьте: вы пишете всего одну строчку кода, и график оживает прямо в браузере. Наводите курсор — появляются точные... Read more ›

Если вы когда-либо выставляли сервис в интернет и смотрели на логи — вы знаете, что происходит в первые минуты. Сканеры, боты, перебор паролей. Firewall помогает, но не всегда. VPN — хорошо, но не всегда удобно и сами протоколы в России к примеру хорошо работают. А что если сервер будет просто отказывать в соединении всем, у кого нет нужного криптографического сертификата — ещё до того, как они увидят страницу логина? Это... Read more ›

Midjourney нейросеть стала заметным инструментом для дизайнеров и разработчиков по одной причине: она часто даёт визуально согласованный результат уже на первом проходе и при этом позволяет достаточно точно сгенерировать изображение через текст, параметры и референсы. С инженерной точки зрения интерес здесь не в «магии генерации», а в том, как модель интерпретирует промт, какие сигналы считает приоритетными и где начинаются её ограничения. Читать далее Read more ›

Всю свою карьеру разработчика я пользовался Postman. Помню его ещё простым расширением Chrome, слегка облегчавшим тестирование API. Жизнь в времена была гораздо проще. Сегодня я присоединяюсь к растущей толпе разработчиков, отказывающихся от этих инструментов, потому что они продались.Великое предательство: как наши любимые инструменты обернулись против насВ мире инструментария API становится популярным паттерн, отражающий ситуацию с другими инструментами разработчиков: многообещающий продукт получает подде Read more ›

For years, water managers have been puzzled as the Colorado River kept delivering less water than expected—even when snowpack levels looked promising. New research reveals the missing piece: spring rain, or rather, the lack of it. Warmer, drier springs mean plants are soaking up more snowmelt before it can reach rivers, fueled by sunny skies that boost growth and evaporation. In fact, this shift explains nearly 70% of the shortfall,... Read more ›

Quantum systems can secretly “remember” their past—even when they appear not to. Scientists found that whether a system shows memory depends on how you look at it: through its evolving state or its measurable properties. Each perspective uncovers different kinds of memory, meaning a system can seem memoryless and memory-filled at the same time. This discovery could change how researchers design and control quantum technologies. Read more ›

Loneliness may quietly affect how well older adults remember things—but it might not be speeding up mental decline after all. A large European study tracking over 10,000 people for seven years found that those who felt lonelier started off with weaker memory, yet their memory didn’t deteriorate any faster than those who felt more socially connected. The findings challenge the idea that loneliness directly accelerates cognitive decline or dementia, suggesting... Read more ›

Scientists have discovered a way to supercharge the immune system’s T cells by blocking a protein called Ant2, forcing the cells to rewire how they generate energy. This shift makes them more powerful, resilient, and effective at finding and destroying cancer cells. Read more ›

Bread and other carbohydrate staples may be doing more than just filling plates—they could be quietly reshaping metabolism. In a surprising twist, researchers found that mice strongly preferred carbs like bread, rice, and wheat, abandoning their regular diet entirely. Even without eating more calories, they gained weight and body fat, not because they overate, but because their bodies burned less energy. Read more ›

A new study from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is overturning a decades-old belief that Indigenous Hawaiians hunted native waterbirds to extinction. Instead, researchers found no scientific evidence supporting this claim and propose a more complex explanation involving climate change, invasive species, and shifts in land use—many occurring before Polynesian arrival or after traditional stewardship systems were disrupted.

A breakthrough experiment has shed new light on one of astrophysics’ biggest mysteries: the origin of rare proton-rich elements. For the first time, scientists directly measured a key reaction that creates selenium-74 using a rare isotope beam. The results sharpen models of how these elements form in supernova explosions, cutting uncertainty in half. But the findings also reveal gaps in current theories, hinting that the story isn’t complete yet. Read more ›

In the aftermath of Earth’s most catastrophic extinction event, one unlikely survivor rose to dominate a shattered world: Lystrosaurus. Now, a stunning fossil discovery—an ancient egg containing a curled-up embryo—has finally answered a decades-old mystery about whether mammal ancestors laid eggs. Using advanced imaging technology, scientists confirmed that these resilient creatures did reproduce this way, likely producing large, soft-shelled eggs packed with nutrients. Read more ›

In the Arizona desert, scientists have uncovered a bizarre and almost unbelievable partnership between ants: tiny cone ants acting as “cleaners” for much larger harvester ants. Instead of attacking, the smaller ants crawl over the giants, licking and nibbling their bodies—even venturing between their open jaws—while the larger ants calmly allow it. The scene resembles underwater “cleaning stations,” where small fish groom predators like sharks. Read more ›

A major new study reveals that treating gout may do far more than ease painful joint flare-ups—it could also protect the heart. Researchers found that patients who took common gout medications like allopurinol and successfully lowered their blood urate levels had a significantly reduced risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular death over five years.
